Stop. Press. Matusow Wins Showdown

"It's incredible," boomed Matusow, thus enticing me towards the table, "I won a pot at showdown."

As I made my way towards the felt, notepad in hand, I caught sight of a {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board festering on the baize, with The Mouth's {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} squashing whatever four-card holding his opponent mucked.

Then all was revealed...

"A-4-5-6 is not a good hand against someone who has double raised," he commented.

"It's a great feeling when you have your opponent drawing dead," he continued, before singing "I... won... a... showdown."

The singing was enough to signal my exit, leaving Matusow to construct his newly acquired stack of 30,000.
